Quality scouting report on Andersson.

Welcome aboard kid!

Welcome to the B’s!!

While I would've liked a center, I like that they made a high risk high reward type of selection here.

Don't know the kid. Slight reach according to a lot of experts but that doesn't mean much to me in the late 2nd round. Future 2nd/3rd pairing defenseman? I'm guessing he plays the right side?

Edit: Read the scouting report. The one issue I see is that he's soft and we already have a few of those guys on defense.

Would love to read people’s input on this pick but I can’t cause hf sucks now

Welcome Axel!

Another PJ pick.

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Big need filled for right shooting Dman in the organization.

Swedish offensive defenseman? Happy with the pick at the spot - defense wins championships and the Bruins appear (for the time being) loaded in their pool, building a special group. I like it!

Welcome aboard, Axel!

Seems fairly boom bust but fits with where the game is going.

Kid seems to have a nice skill set that is made for the way the game is trending. Cool as heck name, so obviously a good pick.

Great pick

This is a great analytics write-up on Axel Andersson. Definitely sold me on him a bit more. Team seemed to do drastically better when he is on the ice.

Nailed this part: "If a Swedish scout for one team feels very strongly about him, we could see him go in the late second round. He will be a longer-term project but his skills leave a sense that Andersson has even more to give."

@BruinDust completely missed you posting this earlier. My bad.

nice upside. axel andersson was clearly the main playmaking defenseman for sweden. he was the engine that made things happen. he's very young so probably at least 2 years away. but something to look forward to when the bruins clutch of young defensive prospects finally 'hatch'. hopefully he can continue to improve his game and put on about 20 pounds of muscle in the next 2 years.

Considering the Bruins are set at RD for a long time with Carlo and McAvoy it makes sense to pick more of a project player like Axel.

what a great hockey name- Axel Andersson. Ranks up there with my favorite, Bates Battaglia

 

[spylogic3]

Does anyone know if he's coming to dev camp this year?

There was a guy called:
Nando Eggenberger

Unfortunately, he did get drafted, although some people had him at #90.

don`t like this pick, clearly biased choice as PJ was all over this guy simply due to the fact his first name starts with the first 4 letters of PJ`s last name
